i dont know how you actually do the checkride in australia, but in case you dont already know, here are the requirements (i like looking things up 
) :
(a) Be at least 23 years of age
(b) blablabla .. about english language
(c) good moral character (dunno exactly how they figure that one out) I think you can't have any DUI's or felony's
(d)
(1) hold a US comm pilot cert & IR
(3) hold a foreign ICAO comm pilot & IR without limitations
(e) meet aeronautical experience (quoted later)
(f) pass knowledge test (i'd assume pretty easy, cause they publish the answers)
(h) comply with various regulations regarding taking the flight test .. blabla..
Aeronautical experience:
TT: 1500 hours
at least:
(1) 500 of XC time (this must be 50nm or more!)
(2) 100 night time
(3) 75 instrument (either simulated or actual)
(4) 250 of PIC (or SIC performing PIC duties)
at least:
(i) 100 of XC time
(ii) 25 Night
thats basicly it, there are a lot of other regulations that allow you to meet those requirements with sims but its to much to list right now
anyhow, i hope i helped out and you didn't already know this

just a small and seemingly insignificant yet important point, there is no such thing as a US or FAA ATPL only ATP.
The FAA do not issue licences. They issue certificates.
In practical terms they are almost the same thing but certificates have a distinct advantage over licences, they never expire or need to be renewed. (only exception is the flight instructors certificate)
As long as you are current and your medical is current then all is well. If you stop flying for many years and want to start again all you have to do is get current again, no mandated further training or flight test or fee, just between you and your instructor as to whats required.

It's a shame Bond didn't have a Certificate to Kill, must have been a pain renewing his Licence......
..........So Mr Bond, Have you killed anyone in the last 5 years?
